Peasycam breaking change coming

I've decided to strike the getRotations/setRotations methods. The rationale for getRotations() was to make a heads-up display possible, but Peasycam now supports HUDs directly. The next version of Peasycam will not have getRotations()/setRotations().

I still use that function for billboarding text in the 3d environment.  It won't work as a HUD function as far as I know. Does the new getState() function replace this feature? I can't get it to work as I did with rotations.

The thing you want is

Code:
void draw() {
    // draw your 3D universe
    cam.beginHUD();
    // draw your text and controls
    cam.endHUD();
}

That doesn't work for what I'm describing.
Here is a piece of sample code...  The text has to stay in the 3d camera environment, just rotate.
Code:
import peasy.*;

PeasyCam cam;
float[] rotations = new float[3];

void setup() {
  size(300,300,P3D);
  cam = new PeasyCam(this, 100);
  cam.setMinimumDistance(50);
  cam.setMaximumDistance(500);
}
void draw() {

  background(0);
  rotations = cam.getRotations();
   
  fill(255,255,255);
  box(2);  //center
   
  pushMatrix();
  translate(0,30,0);
  fill(255,0,0);
  box(10);
  popMatrix();
  
  pushMatrix();
  translate(0,-30,0);
  fill(0,255,0);
  box(10);
  popMatrix();
 
  
  pushMatrix();
  translate(0,30,0);
  rotateX(rotations[0]);
  rotateY(rotations[1]);
  rotateZ(rotations[2]);
  fill(255,255,255);
  textAlign(CENTER);
  text("My Red Box",0,20,0);
  popMatrix();
  
  pushMatrix();
  translate(0,-30,0);
  rotateX(rotations[0]);
  rotateY(rotations[1]);
  rotateZ(rotations[2]);
  fill(255,255,255);
  textAlign(CENTER);
  text("My Green Box",0,20,0);
  popMatrix();
}

Ah! Right. Fair enough; I'll keep it in. Thanks for explaining.
